From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Veronica is a female given name, the Latin form of the Greek name Berenice, Φερονίκη,[1] which in turn is derived from Greek pherein (bring) and nikê (victory), meaning "she who brings victory".[2][3] In medieval etymology, Veronica was sometimes wrongly supposed to derive from Latin vera (true) and Greek eikon (image).[4] Its popularity in medieval and modern times is based mainly on the importance in Christianity of Saint Veronica and her Veil of Veronica.
